Creative Differences, Music & Film is an independent label in Melbourne dedicated to supporting the efforts of a few creative types that need it.
Rick Ralli has his debut album available at Waterfront Records, as well as in stores through Green Media, and of course digitally downloadable on iTunes, eMusic and Amazon! It is called 'Permanently On The Verge'. When the album was started in 2006 Rick wrote a letter to his favourite band, Cheap Trick, telling them how much they meant to him and saved him in his darkest moments. Rick Neilsen (Cheap Trick's guitarist, OF COURSE!) mentioned in an interview with Billy Corgan that he was listening to Rick's few MP3s on his Myspace page - consequently Rick's Myspace went ballistic for the next year and a half totalling over 800,000 song plays, and thousands of friend requests, mostly from kids in the US telling HIM what HIS music meant to them in THEIR darkest times!!
Permanently On The Verge is available at the above retailers as well as online at CDBaby
The second band on Creative Differences is RobotTurboMarie. RobotTurboMarie has their debut album on CDBaby for digital download! The album (and eventually DVD, Ian's made clips for every song!) CINEMATOPOEIA explores space rock sounds and psychedelic imagery hung on a theme borrowed from Erich von Daniken's book 'Chariots of the Gods?'. RTM has been playing at some interesting little venues in Melbourne, and recently exhibited the short film 'Cinematopoeia', featuring music from the album, at Brunswick Street Gallery.
